About the Manchester Buddhist Centre

How we run the Buddhist Centre

The Buddhist Centre is a char­ity and we rely on the sup­port of people who use the building

For more inform­a­tion about the char­ity please see the Manchester Buddhist Centre entry on the Char­ity Com­mis­sion website

Mis­sion Statement

The advance­ment of the Buddhist reli­gion in particular:

(i) To encour­age mem­bers and oth­ers to live in accord­ance with the teach­ings of the Buddha.
(ii) To sup­port ordained mem­bers of the West­ern Buddhist Order and other duly ordained Buddhists at the dis­cre­tion of the Coun­cil of Manchester Buddhist Centre.

Part of the FWBO

The FWBO stands for the Friends of the West­ern Buddhist Order, the Buddhist move­ment which the Manchester Buddhist Centre is part of. Each Buddhist Centre in the FWBO is fin­an­cially and leg­ally independent.

Giv­ing

We sur­vive on dona­tions and con­tri­bu­tions. We have a large group of volun­teers who sup­port us by work­ing in a vari­ety of ways.

Mov­ing into the City

Pre­vi­ously the Buddhist centre was housed in a semi-detached house in Chorlton, south Manchester.

Old Buddhist Centre premises on Wilbraham Road

When the idea of a build­ing in the city centre came up, it was so that more people could access and bene­fit from the Buddha’s teach­ings. Being in the heart of Manchester with the many thou­sands of people in the area, we believe we can best serve the people of Greater Manchester
